>>>I see Mike has suggested Knockout. I'd add Angular as an option - has a $resource class which makes grabbing data from the server easy (and works well with WebApi). Good data binding as well.

>>First, thank you. Newbie question. Is it Knockout and Angular or either one? That is, suppose I learn Angular (hopefully :)), for what I need to do, do I need Knockout in the program too? (I realize that Knockout is a multi-functional library but for now I just need one thing).

Thank you, Viv. I have not yet started learning either technology and will start with Angular (unless a new technology is in vogue at the time :))
